Sebastian Gomez Natural Carbonic Maceration Gesha, Colombia
The most special coffee for the festive season. Gesha, a rare and tricky varietal to grow has gone through a carbonic maceration fermentation before being dried naturally. This has resulted in many layers of complex florality; we're tasting lavender and jasmine. Followed by loads of tropical fruit notes with bright acidity; we're finding passionfruit, blueberry and notes of foam banana. The finish has a super lovely sweetness that reminds us of white chocolate and long lasting tones that reminds us of angostura bitters.
This is something to really excite the tastes buds and raise eyebrows!

Sebastian Gomez comes from a traditional coffee family. He along with his father owns La Divisa Farm, a 13-hectare farm, located at 1.700, in Circasia, Quindío. On the farm, they have some beautiful shade trees such as Guamo, Guayacan, Gualandai, and Nogal.
Sebastian is a young farmer and along with his wife both work on the coffee duties and administrative matters. His father, John, has been working in coffee for more than 30 years and has been taking care of the coffee farm since he bought the farm in 1995. Sebastian started to be more involved in coffee in 2014 when he came back To Colombia. Sebastian could witness the specialty movement in other countries, so he decided to be more involved in coffee and it was when they decided to focus on specialty coffee. They planted varieties such as Geisha and Pink Bourbon.
Sebastian shared that they knew they were about to wait and just let their hard work speak out. It was three years after they could see the marvelous result. Sebastian tells us that 10 years later, quantity was the focus, but now they see a radical change since now the focus in the coffee industry is quality.
